Bottle pours hazy yellow orange with white head, aroma has notes of lots of tropical fruit, with pineapple, pear, apricot, apple, some sour lemon, slight biscuit, touch of hops with a touch of dry yeast notes. Taste is delicious, with notes of lots of tropical but sweet fruit notes compliment the yeast and biscuit notes, finishing nice and dry. Delicious and tasty.

Bottle courtesy of Armin. Nice choice! Very cloudy yellow-orange appearance with a white head. Mild bretty, pineapple-orange citrusy, mildly funky, belgian yeasty nose. Pineapple-lemon citrusy, slightly funky, mild bretty, slightly tart, Belgian yeasty flavor. Light tart aftertaste. Pretty tasty saison.

Thanks to beerman6686 Dan, I had an opportunity to try this at the 2nd Pgh Tasting on the 2nd. Really nifty package, champagne bottle with little labeling, looks like a homebrew. Looks a little interesting, pale and cloudy and all. Smell is mildy farmy saison but it also has a slight tart background hiding on the olfactory. Certainly has some hops in there on the taste. During the session, that tartness pokes its head up once in a while but it certainly is not overwhelming. This makes it a pleasant beer to drink fer sure. Some medium hops on the finsh. I really enjoyed the farminess in this and when we got to the bottom of the bottle, I also enjoyed the yeast sediment, taste all its own. Thanks Dan!

Another badass beer cracked open courtesy of Turd - thanks, Sam! Nice dry-looking pale gold pour, with a thin, firm head. Notes of white pepper and lemon rind in the nose, along with fairly prominent yeast, some brett, and dry hops. Nice full mouthfeel, active without being too intrusive. Flavors start out nicely tart and bretty, but settles into some balance with smooth and dry elements emerging. Well done, excellent stuff.

Bottle shared by Turdferguson. Cheers, Sam. Pours bright golden with a decent white head. Nose is dry, citrusy, grassy hops, and yeast. Herb notes and a lovely grapey yeast. I dig.

Shared by turdferguson. Pours cloudy bright lemon rind yellow with one finger foamy white head. Nose is zesty and grassy with some lemongrass and white pepper. Zesty dry palate with a nice peppery character. Lightly grassy with some citrus rind. Boss

Bottle picked up at Mckenzie during the RBSG bus trip. Hazy golden with small white head. Very dry, some funk, light brett, bready. Lovely little American-made saison.
